Photoshop Coloring

[Bustos]

Ive noticed there are people here that are pretty good with Photoshop.  I was wondering if you can give me some tips.  Heres a character I drew and am now trying to color in Photoshop:


I think it looks alright, but I wanna make it look good, because well... I'd just like to get better at Photoshop.  Any Tips?

It's all about having your own style pretty much.
You've done a good job at coloring so far.

[Bustos]

Well Alright

Ill prolly post the finished producut later,
Thanks

Well heres part 2 so far


The eye is messed up, and I havent really broken it down into layers which is pretty bad.  All the coloring is on one layer =/

Anyway for my first real attemp at coloring I still think im doin alright.
Any comments?

[Bustos]

Make the eye a realistic colour. not purple.  :P

I was convinced the eyes were actually goggles. The drawing looks kinda weird to me now.
Also, for the outline of the iris you should use a brush that isn't so soft.

Ill fix up the eye

Now it looks really creepy...I think it's the lips.
